Waste water reclaim equipment
Permalink  
 

After a conversation with a fellow cleaner earlier this week it was suggested I spend more energy going after commercial work. The climate where I am at is a constant battle against the $60.00 house washes and $150.00 roof cleanings. It's rampant down here. It's time to explore other avenues. 

This means I have to become waste water compliant. In the back of my mind I was thinking I would play dumb the first time I was questioned, but it's just not worth it for what it would cost to get some basic equipment to be in compliance. 

I think I have settled on going with an IPC Eagle pump out vacuum with the vacumberm system. I can by into the system for around $1500.00. I feel that is a good starter system, but am open to other suggestions. It all looks good on paper, but I am asking anyone out there who has used this type of system to share what the drawbacks are. The obvious drawback would be a power supply, but I have a generator on board so that problem is solved......looking for other possibilities.

Here is a link to what I am looking at....http://shop.powerwashstore.com/Vacuboom-202-cfm-20-Boom-5108-5108.htm. Tried attaching a pic but it won't load for some reason.

Thanks.

I have been looking at waste water systems. I saw the Cadillac in Myrtle Beach and I just saw this unit at the convention yesterday.  Much more affordable for starting out. It can be hooked up to a water recovery surface cleaner and pumped back into the buffer tank or discarded.

This is the unit but not from this company. Alkota 8-VFS-1

Call Jonas Stoltzfus Beco Equipment in New Holland, PA 888-871-2326

Looks expensive, but no doubt worth every penny. Around $5000.00?? That would be something down the road. Looking at an "entry" level set up. looking for something a little more portable. Ive already outgrown the trailer I have now. No more room for anything else.

The only drawback I can see with what I'm looking at is being close enough to a grassy area to pump my waste water out to.

 Jonas doesn't have this on his site. Give him a call. A nice Amish guy willing to deal. He told me a much better price at he show.
